Description:

This is a US only swap.

If you love to make dishcloths or washcloths and just can't seem to stop collecting and trying various patterns, and if you just can't walk by the cotton yarn without touching it or, like me, buying at least one ball of it, then this swap is for you! Doesn't matter if you knit or crochet, both kinds are welcome.

I belonged to an earlier dishcloth swap that was fun and thought I would modify that for those of you who like to make these and who like to swap.

Each person will have two partners. To each partner you will send:

One (1) handmade dishcloth/washcloth either knit or crochet, any pattern, any color

One (1) pattern - this can be the one you use or a favorite you want to share

One (1) 50 gram ball of cotton yarn, any color

Anything extra you want

Please do not ask for any particular pattern or color. Remember that if you don't like any of the items, you can always re-swap in a different swap later.

Because you will have to shop and then make two dishcloths, and because they really aren't all that time consuming, you will have approximately two weeks to send out your package.

A minimum rating of 4.7 is required to join this swap. If you are a newbie, however, please contact me and we'll chat.

This will be fun, fast and fairly inexpensive.

Knit on! Crochet on! Swap on!

Just signed up, love making dish cloths. I am a crocheter, so who ever get me as a partner, I would prefer a crochet pattern, but if knit is all you have that is okay as my daughter does some knitting and would use the pattern. Thanks!

I love making dish cloths, but I live in Europe. :(

ElectricDaisy 04/27/2007 #

I'm a newbie, but I promise I'm realiable. I love to knit dishcloths, I thought I was the only one! I'm really glad to have an excuse to buy the yarn and try out some new patterns. This will be fun!

I wish i could knit or crochet, I just love handmade dishcloths. have fun everyone!

redwing480 04/27/2007 #

I both knit and crochet, so a pattern for either is fine.

Pezdiva 05/ 3/2007 #

Are including free patterns okay? I only know how to knit but if I get a crocheter I will include a crochet pattern :)

mutantpenguin 05/ 4/2007 #

Oh yes, free patterns are fine! And everyone likes to find a new place to get free patterns. :)

This swap is just up my alley. I love to crochet dishcloths & have a plastic shoe box filling up with them.

Hey Michelle, if you want some crochet patterns, I can send you some links. Glad you like the cloth and labels. I always figure labels are something everyone can use.

Thank you all for such a wonderful swap, I do believe that knitters and crocheters are extra special people! I will do this one again in a heartbeat!

I am looking at running this again next month. I'd like to set it up so sign-ups are done by the 9th with mailing by the 25th. How's that sound? Email me or leave a contact note via swap bot. Let me know if you're interested and this would work for you. Thanks to everyone for getting the packages out on time and for sending such beautiful cloths and patterns!!
